Computer Crash...help

[JensenPark]

ack...hard drive crash...lot most of everything.

can someone send me a decent profile for an X45...

and big question:

I lost all of my games, downloads, etc except for 1946 stock and 4.09 stock.

Any idea even where to begin...?

[Jabo]

Bad juju JP. Check the New or Returning to Active Service thread (Jim's Place). All the necessary links etc are in there. I'd advise you to go from your clean 4.07 and use the megapatch. PM me if you need more help.

This could be of help : ChkMods

Merry Christmas JP sorry I'm no more help than that (

[Jabo]

FT, does chkmods do the whole thing now? I thought it just did the hissy bits?

[delta7]

I have an x-45 profile Ill post up later, so it might give you a start

It can do all of it... well, you will get an install that will let you join online action, offline stuff like missions, Dgen, Ngen etc. are not included...

[Jabo]

No, no, that's fair enough FT, I don't think anyone would expect all of that from you too.

There's your answer JP. Ditch your 4.09 version, make a copy of your 4.07 and run checkmods on the new copy. It'll take a while, but you'll end up with a full hsfx 6 installation.

Might I suggest getting a 1 or 2 terabyte external drive so future disasters can be averted with simple backups.

[delta7]

here are my x-45 profile and some documents to explain the way I laid them out . The x-52 one is better so you might wan to try to map this, but note some of the controls in the game arnt at default so you will have to watch that the key press matches what you want to do

x-45.rar

[JensenPark]

thanks gents.

I had the game (well, 46 and 4.09) backed up on the external...

dimwitted as I am, I never got around to backing up the more recent.

I lost all my porn as well. Blast.

[JensenPark]

effen Saitek doesn't have x45 anymore on their website. damn their eye.

Oh, and I lost all my porn as well. Blast and blast.

[JensenPark]

unfortunately when I try checkmods I get:

Component Msinet.ocx or one of its dependencies not properly registered

FT...any idea?

[Kira]

I lost all my porn as well. Blast.

Really??? I thought that was the first thing to be backed up...? Hehe. I have the necessary files should you need them; 4.07 all the way through a working stock 4.10.1, 4.11.1, 4.11.1 HSFX, et al on external should that be an easier route for you. PM me if you'd like them. I *think* I can upload such large files. There's gotta be a way.

[JensenPark]

and now I get a "CRC match" error when I try the megapatch. Argh.

[Jabo]

Checkmods needs to be run as administrator. Right-click the .exe to find the option in the menu.

What Jabo said, and also switch off UAC ....

[delta7]

saitek software part 1

unplug joystick and install this and plug in joystick when asked

Saitek_X45_Flight_Controller_SD6_64.exe

[delta7]

saitek software part 2

SST_Software_64_6_6_6_9.exe

[JensenPark]

you guys are the best.

Now all I have to do is get my porn back (calling Painless...calling Painless) and I will be all set.

[Jabo]

Actually FT, the UAC ignores Checkmods as far as I can tell provided your install is not in "c:\program files" etc. Anyway, glad to hear you're back up and running JP.

Well, I've tried running it with UAC slider at its top... It wouldn't even let it create/write/delete any files in its own folder, so, just to be sure ...

[JensenPark]

modcheck still running after 24 hours...at 98.9% complete. so close...

what's the UAC slider btw?

[FoolTrottel]

24 Hours?

UAC is User Account Control.

Some security-related safety mechanism that MS has built into Vista and 7.

Basically, it shows what a bad OS it is... as it cannot determine whether you as the user started a program or administrative function, or that some other process started it. (A bad guy remotely, or a virus...). It warns you and asks you whether you started it... and, if set very high, it will block all actions of programs that are not fully programmed the way MS wants them to be...

As you got CheckMods running for 24 hours... it should not be bothered by UAC on your system

[Snacko]

As Mayhem said. Backup. It's not that hard once you set it up.

I do two things with my extra drives. I make a Ghost image after I get my system setup, connected to the net and working for a few days.

And I use a program called GoodSync that syncs specific folders that you pick to one of the drives. I pick my My Documents and just make sure I keep all personal stuff in there.

Good Luck.
